Tom Cruise to stretch into another Jack Reacher movie

Although it came up noticeably, and some would say comedically short, Tom Cruise’s Jack Reacher managed to tower over its critics and just-okay U.S. box office by using the forced perspective of foreign markets. And so, thanks to faraway nations where all Americans are believable as hot-tempered, hulking giants, another Jack Reacher movie is already moving quickly toward production. Jack Reacher: Reach Up 2 The Streets may or may not actually be titled Never Go Back, based as it is on this year’s addition to Lee Child’s Reacher canon, which finds the ex-military man on a cross-country run with a female commanding officer, while trying to evade “trumped-up charges” and dealing with the claim that he fathered a child. But it will definitely have Tom Cruise, who remains enthusiastic about developing the action franchise where Tom Cruise is coolly unflappable, but without spy stuff or aliens.
